Subject: Windows (XP SP2) Remote code execution
withparameters
On my SP1 system I get a dialog asking if i want to install "hhctrl.ocx"
other than that, nothing happens, no fles dropped, nothing unusual. ( of
course i closed the dialog
for hhctrl.ocx installer ). The file "ntshared.chm" does exist in
C:\windows\help.
I have no "unusual" security settings or 3rd party software blocking
scripts/activex.
hmm?
m.w

> The problem with Internet Explorer is that it doesn't set any restrictions
> on web pages that request opening a Windows Help file, compiled with HTML
> Help. Without a restriction, we can (in Internet Explorer) easily command
to
> open any local web page stored on a victim's computer, including web pages
> that are founded in Windows Help files (with extension .CHM). In this PoC
> (Proof of Concept, see below for viewing the PoC), the web page
> "alt_url_enterprise_specific.htm" (that is founded in the Windows Help
file
> "ntshared.chm") will be opened in the HTML Help program "hh.exe".
> Since we now opened a web page stored in a Windows Help file (.CHM), it is
> possible (thanks to the exploit) to execute a HTML Help control (in this
> case, an ActiveX control) that only fully works in Help files. So in this
> PoC, we choosed to launch an ActiveX control for HTML Help. Then, this
> ActiveX control will execute any program we want, in this example that's
> "cmd.exe".
>
> Thanks to the exploit, it is even possible to add parameters to the
executed
> program (here: cmd.exe), so that you can easily start malware out of
> "cmd.exe". In this PoC, we added the parameter "/c pause" to the execution
> code "cmd.exe", and the result is a DOS Prompt with the text "Press any
key
> to continue. . .".

Help)

this

the
